🍞✨ Philosophy in Action! ✨🍞

As the semester comes to an end, the Fourth-Year Philosophy students under Rev. Fr. Rendrix Rabago in their subject Fundamentals on Christian Theology, together with the Third-Year Philosophy students in Comparative Philosophy, conducted a Feeding Program as part of their final course requirement.

This meaningful activity reflects the integration of faith and reason through concrete acts of love and service. Truly, philosophy is not only learned in books but also lived out in compassion and action. 💫

Screams of Injustice: A Philosophical Reflection Through the Lens of Aristotle and Kant.

The protest in Luneta isn't just a political rally; it's a powerful and heartfelt demand for justice. It’s a moment where people are standing up and saying, "Enough is enough." The crowds are there because they feel a deep sense of betrayal which money meant for flood control, for protecting communities, was stolen. This raw emotion is a universal demand for a return to what's right. It speaks to a shared human understanding that leaders should serve the people, not themselves. The "screams of injustices" are a collective refusal to accept lies and theft, and they serve as a powerful reminder that justice isn't just a law on paper wherein it's a fundamental expectation that people hold in their hearts.

This isn't just about a broken system, hence, it’s about a broken trust. When we look at this through the eyes of thinkers like Aristotle, we see that corruption isn't just a crime but it’s a moral sickness. It eats away at the very soul of a community, turning public service into a selfish pursuit. It's the opposite of what a government should be, which is a group of people working for the good of everyone.

And from Kant's perspective, this protest is a refusal to accept lies and deceit. Kant would say that leaders have a moral duty to be honest and fair, no matter what. The protesters are essentially echoing this, demanding that their leaders act with integrity and live up to a higher moral standard.

Therefore, the Luneta rally is more than just a political event. It's a collective cry for a return to decency and honesty. It's a reminder that a just society isn't just about laws and institutions but in further it's built on a foundation of trust, integrity, and a shared commitment to doing what's right.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHILOSOPHER RENZEL!

📖 “He who lives with laughter lives wisely.” For laughter is not just noise but it is the music of a heart at peace, the philosophy of one who knows how to embrace life’s imperfections, and the wisdom of finding light even in the simplest moments. 🌟

Happy birthday to the jolly soul who teaches us more about life through his joy than any book, lecture, or philosophy ever could. May your laughter continue to be a beacon, reminding us all that happiness is not merely felt but lived. 🎂💫
